NEVADA THEATRE 6/15: Join us as The Onyx Downtown embarks on a decades-spanning retrospective of one of the most beloved film genres: the movie musical!
Based on a recurring sketch from Saturday Night Live, few could have guessed that the story of Jake and Elwood Blues, two brothers who set out on a mission from God to get their band back together and raise money for the Catholic orphanage they grew up in, would become a legendary cult classic. Yet 45 years after its initial release, THE BLUES BROTHERS remains one of the greatest and most outrageous musical comedies of all time. Starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd and featuring performances from legendary musicians such as James Brown, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin, THE BLUES BROTHERS is a rare treat on the big screen.
